Normal Mode

Once you have mastered Two Scene Mode, you should explore the more advanced
features of your SmartFade console.
In Normal mode, you can use the maximum channel count (48 channels in the 1248, 96
channels in 1296 or 2496) for controlling dimmers, create customized patches, record
lighting looks to Memories, and play back those Memories directly (using the faders),
automatically (using the crossfaders in a cue stack), or as chases in recorded Sequences.

N o t e :
SmartFade was designed with simplicity in mind. There are many functions (such as
saving and erase functions) which are relatively easy to perform and may not be detailed
in this manual. Navigating to the function in the menu is typically all that is required.
Please reference the
functions. Also consult the
of more advanced menu functions.
